And then I plant my corn from the 20th to the 25th of March rule to which I adhere with scrupulous exact-; neSS, planting Irom Seto 12 grains in each hill : 1 covering the same from four to six inches deep l —greatly prefen-in. , the latter depth. So soon as rnylcorn is up of sufficient heiglit, I 'start the large harrow directly over the rows, allowing a horse to , walk each . side; harrowing the way the corn was! p lanted; and on land prepared as above and bar- I rowed as directed, the hoeing part will be so corn-: plei , ely performed. by this process that it will sat- I isfy the most skeptical. Then allowing the corn thus harrowed to remain a few days, I start my small plough with the bar next the corn; and sell nicely will this be done, that when a row is thus I ploughed, so completely trill the intermediate spa- 1 ces; hills, &c. be lapped in by the loose earth, oc ccAioned by this system of close plosighing, as to Irender any oilier work useless fur a time. I thin to four stalks upon a hill, never having to trans ' plant, the second ploughing 'lcing performed with the,mould-board towards the rows of corn; and so I rapid, has been the growth of the corn between the first and second ploughings, that this is performed , with ease; and when in this stage I consider ror crop ante—tny general role being, never to plough my corn more than four times and harrow once. 31y.practice is to put afield in corn two successive years, then grass it, and let it lie eight years; rule from which I never deviate. Now, Ido not I pretend that 'the labor bestowed upon a sod field to - put it in a state •Of thorough cultivation does Inot meet with a fair equivalent from one crop ; but I presume no farmer will dtiubt when I say the second year's crop from sod land is better than the I first with not more than one half the labor. The Ibest system of farming is to produce the greast amount of profit from the smallest amount of bcir." tNow, what arc the esgentials of this method I First—Fertility of soil, kept up by his system of ! manuring , and grass, of which we shall not speak. 1 sccond_Earty'plemiing. In consequence of this,l the coin matures before the dry season commences. I and every farmer knows that plenty of rain will make- a good crop - of corn in almost any soil.' They all know that the essential thing for corn is rain, and there is generally plenty of rain till about the Ist of July. Mr. Young might plant his corn considerably later, and have it come up as early,; and grow off more rapidly, by soaking it in a so-I lutioa of saltpetre. rhus would the effect of frost' and chilly mornings be in a degree avoided; while we feel confident, from our own experience, all in-I • t jury from the cutworm would be avoided. - Third—Close planting. Every farmer must know that, to produce the heaviest possible crop, a cer rain; number of stocks must be upon the ground.! It is, often observed that the great sin of Ameriemi agriculture is too thin sowing. Grass is nearly I always sowed too thin, and the same is true of; small grain. In England they sow four and live, and sometimes six bushels of oats to the acre; in I this country generally not more than a bushel or bushel and a half. Hence in England they yield ; three or four times as heavy as in this country; I !while in this country we nes er hear of an extraor dinary crop where less than three or four bushels; to the acre were sown... Now, we sentitre to affirm that no very large corn crop was ever grown less it was planted unusually thick. In the crop I of ! George \V. Williams, of l3uurbuu county, Ken tricky, the corn was planted iu rows two feet apart, with a stalk every foot in the rows. This crop produced 10 bushels to the acre. But there is I another important advantage of close planting I The corn very soon becomes so dense that the !.ground is shaded, and the growth of the grass is prevented, and the moisture retained in the soil. By this method'of cultivation, no grass is ever al lowed to absorb the inoisturc from the earth, or i take up the nutrition!' gases which ought to be ap propriated exclusively to the corn. . Faun h—Derp Planiing.—This probably ope rates favorably by giving the roots a bedding svhere I the soil is always moist. Another advantage may be that the routs are thus not so liable to be-bro ken by the plough in'euttivation. But it must be here noted that by Mr. Young's method the corn jis laid by before the roots are so extended as tip I be liable to much injury from the plough." Fiji It and last.—lt will be observed that, by Mr. Young's tnethod the soil is kept cry friable ario !loose, and that to a considerable depth. This mak be considered the all•e4selitial point in husbandry One of the chief advantages of all manure,; is, so to divide the soil as to make it that the atraj• pliere. from which plants derive their principal nu triment, may freely penqtrate to the roots of the plants. In such a louse soil, too, it is well known that much less rain is requisite than in the stiff cold, close soil. For this reason, gravel, sand, or sawdust, is often the best manure that can be put upon a stiff soil. In the fall of the year, Mr. Young turns down very deep a thick-rooted sod of eight years' standing. The vegetable matter its the sod will obviously keep the soil very loose for a year or two by mechinical division, as well as by the slow fernientation of this matter in the soil. But thisis not all. The soil is deeply bro ken up before planting; it is harrowed thoroughly as soon us the corn comes up, and then there is a rapid succession of ploughing, until the pound is shaded by the corn, and ploughing is no longer possible or necessary. No doubt the plough is. preferable to the hand-hoe or cultivator in the case of Mr. Young, fpr it makes the soil loose to a greater depth; and we have already explained that, according to Isis Method, the roots of the corn arc not exposed to injury from the plough. IT ALT .—Tvome, Od. 23.—The enthusiastic affec tion of the people to the new Pope continues undi minished, and, in fact, appears "to groin by what it reeds on.'" The Pope has been compelled to moderate it by issuing a request that no more pub lie rejoicings shall take place in his honor. His Holiness designs, it is said, to establish a Council of State, to which lay men will be sub- Mitted. This is considered a great concession to wards liberty; but, if report can be credited, it is nothing compared to what the Pope deSigus to do for his people. He even intends, it is said, to give them a Constitution, with every guarantee of in dividual liberty that exists in the west countries. It appears that rice can be cultivated with great success in Italy.

Two successive crops have failed; Heaven has withheld the bounties of its providence; the hus bandman has no reward, for his labor; and a suffering people, cry . fOr : bread. While Ireland suffers, we enjoy the blessings of abundant har- , vests, and all the other good things of life. Our GeVernor has appointed u day of Thanksgiving for the prosperity ;and happiness which. the Great Ruler of the- Universe has vouch-safed to us; Wand while we thank Heaven for its benifleence, should not we, who are Irishmen, or the ions of Irishmen, or the friends of Ireland, open our hearts and hands towards our brethren in distreSsg , Whoso bath this world's goods, and seeth rhis brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?"

The annual product of its soil is estimated to be worth lone hundred and seventy-five millions of Dollars. I end there is of this exported to the value of six„i ty millions of dollars. Thus, we can see at al glance what the people of that beautiful but ill-' fated island have lost by Ithe failure of two her ' vests. Is there an Irish heart in Pittsburgh that does not bleed at the pictures of distress which; each arrival from Europe presents to us? Is there an Irish heart that throbs not to the dictates of humanity. and would not be foremost in the good work of doing something for:lreland? Lbt us, ,be up and doing, then, and the conscious heart of Ireland 'will bless us. When a conflagration destroyed the fairest portion of our city, it will be remembered that American sailors sent raid to us from the Indian Oeean: when through fa mine, the most dreadful calamity that can befal a • - nation, our brethren in Ireland are sinking into the grave, will our affluent Irish citizens look on and do nothing?—Will they Le more forgeiful than were the rude mariners on the coast of Chitin?—' Heaven forbid the thought! We throw out these suggestions, hoping our Irish friends will 'move, in the matter.

What vve give to Ireland should be given with a holy, impulse, not reluctantly, or with unthoughtful hes' nevoleece. There should be no sounding of trum pets. We should do as we would be done by; and let our guts be in that spirit of kindness and sym pathy with which we won'd relieve a brother in adversity. c-Otir friends of the Chruniek, in their paper of of yesterday hate an excellent leader in relation to the suffering and misery in Ireland.

Our city con- tains many wealthy citizens, able to give liberally, and vie hope- they will embrace this opportunity of doing a truly good and noble deed. We have a large number of benevolent societies—will they nut contribute their mite?

Collections . are weekly taken in our churches for various purposes—to print tractis- - to circulate the bible—to support theological institutions, and send missionaries to proclaim the tidings of salvation— will not our churches also come to the relief of the suffering. and raise money for the destitute?
